## [ERR-20260210-001] cron tool deadlock

**Logged**: 2026-02-10T23:00:00 CST
**Priority**: high
**Status**: resolved
**Area**: config

### Summary
The internal `cron` tool causes deadlock/timeout when called directly. Agent times out after 10s waiting for response.

### Error
```
Tool execution timed out
Gateway logs show 80s+ response times
```

### Context
- Attempted to use `cron.add` to create scheduled job
- Calls hang indefinitely
- Gateway becomes unresponsive to subsequent cron calls

### Suggested Fix
Use `exec` to run CLI commands instead of calling `cron` tool directly:
```bash
exec: openclaw cron list
exec: openclaw cron add --name "job" ...
```

### Resolution
- **Resolved**: 2026-02-10T23:00:00 CST
- **Fix**: Installed ez-cronjob skill, documented CLI workaround
- **Notes**: Always prefer `exec` + CLI over direct `cron` tool calls

### Metadata
- Reproducible: yes

## [ERR-20260211-001] youtube-summarizer tool not triggered

**Logged**: 2026-02-11T12:30:00 CST
**Priority**: high
**Status**: in_progress
**Area**: workflow

### Summary
YouTube URL was posted in #youtube-summaries channel, but I responded conversationally instead of triggering the transcription tool.

### Error
Agent detected YouTube URL but did not:
1. Recognize it as a transcription trigger
2. Run `python tools/youtube-summarizer.py [URL]`
3. Return formatted transcript/summary

### Context
- URL posted in #youtube-summaries (dedicated channel)
- yt-dlp is installed and ready
- Tool exists at `tools/youtube-summarizer.py`
- Agent responded like a chatbot instead of executing tool

### Suggested Fix
Scan ALL incoming messages for YouTube URL patterns. When detected:
1. Extract video ID
2. Run summarizer script via exec tool
3. Post formatted output back to channel

### Resolution
- **Status**: In progress
- **Next step**: Test proper URL detection

### Metadata
- Reproducible: yes

## [ERR-20260214-001] OpenClaw reset wipes gateway state

**Logged**: 2026-02-14T20:00:00 CST
**Priority**: high
**Status**: resolved
**Area**: gateway

### Summary
Rolling back OpenClaw version (to fix Discord bug) wiped all gateway state: cron jobs, session routing, agent configs. Workspace files survived, but runtime data lost.

### Error
```
Gateway service: stopped (state Ready)
cron list: empty (all jobs gone)
```

### Context
- Reset to v2026.2.9 to fix Discord session key bug
- Gateway service stopped, cron jobs disappeared
- Agent still worked (Discord plugin independent)

### Suggested Fix
After any OpenClaw reinstall/reset:
1. Check `openclaw gateway status`
2. Restart if stopped: `openclaw gateway restart`
3. Restore cron jobs via scripts or manual recreation
4. Verify all jobs running: `openclaw cron list`

### Resolution
- **Resolved**: 2026-02-14T22:00:00 CST
- **Fix**: Restarted gateway, recreated all cron jobs
- **Notes**: Gateway state != workspace files. State is ephemeral.

### Metadata
- Reproducible: yes (any reinstall)
- Related: Discord gateway bug v2026.2.12+
